Nose waxing. To wax or not?

I was asked a very important question a few days ago by a fellow aesthetician in regards to "what are my thoughts when it comes to nose waxing". I knew the reason why she was asking this question. If some of you are not sure about why this question was asked you may want to take a look at this article.

My response to this was " I have waxed hundreds and I mean hundreds of nostrils for men who have…

Tired of cucumber water? Try these water recipes in your Spa instead...

If you are anything like me and just find it hard to chug down water .... maybe your clients that visit your spa are feeling the same way.  Maybe, just maybe, they are tired of seeing the same ole lonely cucumber slices bobbing in their glass and wish for some variety!  

If your water is truly impressive, maybe leave some recipe cards out on the table in the 'waiting area' with your business card stapled…

Big Bend National Park

Day 3.... I enjoyed a day of hiking the "Window" trail at the Chisos Basin.  With a decent of 700 feet in 2.2 miles, it was a pleasant and exhilarating hike.  Thank goodness no bears were encountered... although, I was prepared with my protective bear spray!  

After a lovely time in Terlingua, Texas and Big Bend National Park, I reluctantly head back to the big city tomorrow.  

Thank you West Texas for filling my need for an adventure.

Wow! I can't believe it's been a year!

 

Or actually just a little more than a year! Time DOES fly when you’re busy and having fun! When we started this online community in January 2011, of course we hoped it would be popular and useful to esties from all over the country, but it is still so exciting to see more than 3,000 people enjoying the forum. And even some from outside the USA.

 

I love to see all the great discussions, questions, answers, and the other ways you are helping each other succeed, and the…

How is your Salon business doing right now?  Do you feel that your team are constantly cat fighting and causing more drama than reality t.v could ever bring to your t.v screen?  Have you noticed the client retention rate is a big issue?  I have worked in several salons over the years and luckily 98% of the ones I worked at were great and pretty harmonious (as much as it can be in a predominantly female environment) but the 2% that caused me discomfort have become etched in my brain…

Looking for some feedback on these waxing consultation cards/posters etc...

I am heading back home to London in a few weeks and i have been asked by a company out there to do some research for them in regards to the U.S market.  They are thinking of bringing their copyrighted products over to the states ... but prior to any big shipments being made they/I are looking for an overall consensus of opinion.

They have posters for the room (to help hide any of those botched wallpaper blunders!) and they also have client consultation forms for waxing and after care…

Why your salon or spa should not double dip wax

Never double dip!  By this I mean that if you have stuck the spatula into the wax pot, then applied it to the area/skin to be waxed, the stick should be thrown away in the trash can immediately. Imagine waxing every client with just one stick and you kept double dipping?  The tin of wax would have traces of blood, pubic hair, and feces (especially if the client didn’t clean up properly!!) It would be a breeding ground for bacteria, which is extremely unsanitary and not fair on the…
